Connection to Power
Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate.
Mains Cord
This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it
is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the
plug must not be used until a replacement available from the
appliance manufacturer is obtained.
It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover
corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your
socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions
below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as
insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical
hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions
carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE
Important
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug.
If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be
fitted, or if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse
must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the
Distribution Board.
Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V 50 Hz - AC only
Do not make any connection to the larger pin marked with the

Setting up Your DVD/VCR
Before Connecting
• Be sure to turn off the unit and equipment to be connected
before connecting.
• Refer to the instruction books for your TV, stereo system
and any other equipment to be connected.
• Be sure to keep the unit connection cables separate from
the TV antenna cable when you install the unit, because it
may cause electrical interference when you are watching
television programmes.
• DTS audio cannot be produced with an analogue
connection.
• Please refer to the instruction books of your TV, DVD/
VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make
the best connections.
• Make one of the following connections, depending on the
capabilities of your existing equipment.
The following guidelines are options for the best picture and
sound quality available on your DVD/VCR.
Picture
1) Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for the best
picture quality (for DVD and VCR features).
2) Use S-VIDEO OUT for the better picture quality (for
DVD features only).
Note: • When your TV conforms to RGB input signal, the
Euro AV (scart) connection ensures you the best
picture and audio quality. However if your TV does
not conform to RGB input signal, the S-VIDEO
OUT and ANALOG AUDIO OUT connection is
better (for DVD features only).
Sound
1) Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for best
sound quality (for DVD and VCR features).
2) Digital audio connection provides the clearest sound.
Connect the unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL)
to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).
3) If digital connection is not possible, connect the unit’s
ANALOG AUDIO OUT (Left and Right) to your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).
WARNING!

switched on.
• Connect the unit directly to your TV, instead of eg. a VCR,
to avoid distortion because DVD-Video discs are copy
protected.
• Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of the unit
to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.
• If you use the Scart cable, it is not necessary to connect the
analogue Audio cables.
Connecting to a TV
